The NRSWA Re-Assessment training course is for a duration of two days and is designed for operatives and supervisors who already hold the New Roads & Street Works card. Delegates will be required to take the Refresher course every five years after carrying out work on public highways.

The NRSWA Re-Assessment process has been introduced to improve the standards of workers on highways, following new regulations that came into force in April 2010.

If your streetworks card is about to or has already expired you will need to take a Re-Assessment course.
